Side by Side Comparison of: iXCC vs eCandy vs J-so

I love this running band. I bought one when I bought my iPhone 6S a year ago, and it has been great. It fits over my case. I find this particular helpful because I had to keep taking the case on and off with my 5S and the phone bent as a result of it. When I misplaced this band in my recent move, I knew I needed to get the same one. It has been excellent. It is also very easy to adjust. I set it at the widest setting, pull it over my arm, then tighten it. While it doesn't work with touch ID, I have yet to see the band that does. It does, however, work with the standard touch functions, including the screen. As the armband doesn't have a rubber case, it also feels better against my arm.Notes: The first band I used while training for half-marathons and it showed no signs of wear after a year. This one has been used for trail running, 2-10 miles, 3-4 times a week. Aside from some staining from my sunscreen, there is absolutely no sign of wear after a month of use.

I have purchased at least three or four other armbands that claimed to fit the iPhone 6 and all were utterly disappointing. I'm so happy I found this one -- it works perfectly for my needs. I like that it can be worn two different ways, depending on how large your arm is. My arms are small, but the design is such that I can loop the band through the slats differently and still get a snug fit without any awkward bulging or bulkiness. The velcro has been holding up well, and the armband doesn't slip down my arm or move around when I run or lift or anything else. My phone even fits in this band with the case on, which is a huge plus. It is possible to use the phone's touch screen through the plastic, but it is not always the easiest thing to do. Still, I didn't feel this was worth taking off a star because I don't think it's due to a design flaw or anything.Overall, highly recommend. Great value for the price. Glad I found this one!

This product seems simple enough, but it's actually the best phone armband I've had. I've had probably 3 or 4 in my days, as I seemed to upgrade my phone a lot, apparently. The opening where you put the phone isn't at the very top, so there's some overhang ensuring a full closure and your phone won't slip out of you put it on upside-down or carry it in your hand after your run. The key feature is cool if you need it. But the best feature I've noticed is the 2 size options. All my past armbands stretch over time & I end up having it too slack since it only goes so tight (I am female, 5'6", 140lbs, so average build for a woman of my height with reasonably sized biceps). This one fits me just fine on the larger size since it's new, but over time I can slip it through the smaller opening if I need & it'll fit perfect again. Woo! And it's less than $10? Heck yes.

I ordered two - a pink one for me, and a black one for my husband. Mine works great, with my iPhone 6 as well as with my (old old old) iPhone 3G that I use for music while running sometimes. My husband uses his with an iPhone 6 for running/weight lifting. I like that you can easily control your touchscreen through the plastic cover. It is stable for me on the smaller setting and it is fairly stable for my husband using the larger setting, though he has to adjust it occasionally during his runs. Regardless, it's still a good tool for him - better than carrying his expensive phone in his hands and risking a fall! It doesn't have a bulky feel as I was afraid of - for a long time I only ran with my 7+ year old iPod nano (the square one) - and it's been a good experience so far! We haven't used the key pocket because it seems small and kind of risky to use - the pockets built into running clothes are more secure, I think.Edited 3/28/16- my mom liked mine so much that she asked for one for a gift. I got her the blue one and she thinks it's great, though the color is brighter in real life.

I've used similar items like this that did not fit well on my arm. I don't have huge arms but am an athletic male. Often these don't fit well but this one does. They also don't fit with the case still on. This one fits my iPhone 6 with a minimalistic case like the one Apple sells. It's nice not to have to take the phone out of the case every time I go for a jog. This is the best arm band phone holder I've used. It's what I wished all of my past exercise iPhone holders would have been. Sweat proof and seems durable as well as the lowest cost of most I've seen. Fantastic value!

This armband has been great for me. Comfortable, stays on my arm well, and protects my phone from water. I wouldn't say I have a thin phone case, it is a slightly thicker one but I can still securely fit it inside the sleeve. I use it mostly for running. I run through sprinklers often to cool down on my runs since I'm from Phoenix, AZ; which also means I am sweating a lot. But so far my phone has never gotten wet and the armband doesn't slide down. The protective clear screen also works well when it comes to using the touch screen on my phone. And my house key always stays in the little holder. Color matches what is shown online.

Ok, for the buyer of these headphone, price is the primary factor than the sound quality. For less than $20 you are getting a 'Bluetooth headphone' which got very very good sound output! I've these Sony MDREX58V/BLK EX Series Earbud Headphones. Let me tell you, I prefer this bluetooth headphones over those Sony headphones!!! They got excellent fit for the angled earbuds, excellent punchy bass & very balanced sound nothing is too much (Bass or treble). Very good, full & clear sound. Power button is little bit mushy, volume buttons are clicky. They connected with my Note 4 with no problem.*When I searched after turning them on (press & hold on power button, keep pressing for 3-4 sec. to make it discover-able by phone), they appeared as 'G6' on my bluetooth device list.*After connecting, if you press the power button, music will start from you default player.*During music playback, single press on power button = play/pause, press & hold volume up button = previous track, press & hold volume down button = next track. (I will let you know as "Previous Song", "The Next Song").*Every action is dictated by the headphones (Ex. "Power on", "Power off", after power on & bluetooth connection, it will let you know "Bluetooth connected").*On my Note 4, during power position, if you double press power button quickly, it will dial last dialed phone number.*I couldn't able to trigger 'Google Now' from headphone.*They have very high volume. Headphone volume control is separated from. So, when you are controlling volume from headphones, it will not change volume of the phone. Which is a very good feature.*During an incoming call, it will tell you the phone number like this: "Call from 8-0-0-1-2-3-2-4-5-5". A bit annoying. But, can't complain for $18.*CON: So, microphone is in top of the right earpiece & caller will not hear you unless you unplug right earpiece & put the mic next to you mouth.Conclusion: These are very very good headphones. When I bought them, I was little bit hesitant for the rating it got. DO NOT hesitate to buy these, they are very good headphones. I would recommend to my friends & family without any hesitation. Thanks.

Wonderful set. Fitment, sound, and use is strong.The unit comes w/ 2 sets of ear cushions and the stabilizer rings in clear and black...yes two sets of each. I typically have issues finding headphones that not only fit well, don't hurt, and stay in....these are everything. I can run and talk and chew w/ these things!The battery life is nice. I got almost a 8 hours of straight listening to music!! The standby time is as you'd expect.The color is great...since I love orange! The fitment is nice as noted, but I personally would like a smaller form factor for the body of the headphone that sits outside the ear. This way I could use them while helmeted for motorcycle rides.What's awkward is the positioning of the buttons. They are on the right ear piece. With the shape of the ear piece, the buttons take some getting used to in order to use the multi-function buttons. They are primarily the volume rockers but press together and the unit will for back and forth from foreign to English language. The face of the ear piece has another multi function button to turn on/off, start/stop music, & answer/end calls. These buttons work flawlessly for me.The microphone is on the left ear piece and I found myself having to speak much louder than I am comfortable with. The other side does report typical bluetooth woes of sounding far away or echo'y or as if on speaker. I primarily purchased these to listen to music and that it does well.The range of the bluetooth is a bit lacking. Typical range should be 10meters, and in line of sight my set of ECandy Headphones does not get past 10 feet. This could quite possibly be just my experience as others may vary.The charge port is typical microusb which I love. The package comes w/ a short cord for charging from a full size usb port which is great. And so far all of my other USB cords were successful at charging this device!I've dropped these a few times and a couple direct hits to the ground. As small and lightweight as it is no damage would be expected...but for as little as I paid, I was prepared for a disaster. No problems, no damage!!I do love these headphones! Despite a few flaws (can ANY be perfect), they are simply easily forgivable and this is a no brainer purchase. Enjoy!Please note I did get this at a discount/free in exchange for my unbiased review.These eCandy headsets continue to be my go to. I have a few sets of them for backup and always perform. The security in having multiple backup earbuds as well is an added bonus. I would put a bit of glue on the buds you like however...just to keep them in place. something not too harsh and removable with some effort. The buds do come off in your pocket

This is the first earbud set of headphones I have. It's been a few months and they are still holding up. I have to charge it every night as it does run out of battery quickly between uses. It was easy to set up with my phone as most blue tooth devices are. I have used these for casual walks and exercising. It does isolate noise well, even while walking through the city but is not 100% noise cancellation. I have a little problem with them while exercising because the strand that connects them does not stay in place. It drags across my neck and pulls from one ear to the other and I feel that I have to constantly adjust them. It does not stay in place for long if you are running or being really active. If you are lifting, these stay in fine. ALSO.. if you press and hold both the (-) and (+) for volume control, it does change the language set-up to chinese. To reverse this, you simply press and hold both volume controls again.**UpdateTheir customer service is top notch, they contacted me with regards to my issues with their product and offered to replace or give me refund. They were very helpful and quick with their service. I would order from them again based on my positive customer experience

*UPDATE - these are an outstanding buy.* Received my headphones yesterday and so far I am pretty impressed with them. They sound good for the price. I havent had any connection problems.I do however have a couple complaints. The build quality doesn't seem to be the best but these are sub $20 headphones so that is to be expected. The multifunction button doesn't make a solid click when you press it so sometimes its hard to know if you actually pressed it in all the way and because of this it kinda hurts if you try to press it while wearing the ear buds. Also they can get slightly unconformable after wearing then for an hour or so but in my experience that applies to most ear buds. Could just be a matter of adjusting their position a little better in my ear. With my complaints in mind overall I think these are a solid buy and a good value for the money and I would highly recommend them. I don't expect them to last a really long time because of the build quality but again these are under $20 so if they lasted six months without issue I would be more than satisfied with them. Pick up a pair and try them for yourself.UPDATE - in an unfortunate event my girlfriend did not sheck the pocket of my shorts before washing my clothes.I did not realize until the full cycle of the washer had ran out and my ear buds were soaked.I put them in a bag of rice for a couple days and the plugged them into the charger. To my surprise even after being in the washer for over an hour they still work flawlessly

I bought these ear buds to replace a corded ear bud set. At the gym, the cord would snag on the exercise equipment and pull out of my ears. I purchased these particular ear buds based mostly on the good reviews and the price. Most of the other ear buds cost $10 or higher. I have been using them for over two weeks and I find that I like using them. The sound is excellent with a good mix of bass and highs and have plenty of volume. They are light weight and comfortable in my ear. They stay in place but need occasional repositioning as I work out (the Iphone ear buds will not stay in my ear and are constantly falling out). I'm using these buds with an Iphone 5c and they connected easily to the Iphone Bluetooth--I had no trouble pairing them to the Iphone. A fully charged battery lasts just over three hours. They charge using any USB charger. Of course, these ear buds also work with making and receiving calls. There is a microphone on the left ear bud and two buttons on the right unit. The buttons control volume and operation. To the best of my knowledge, these are not noise cancelling ear buds--they will reduce surrounding noise as most ear buds will. I would recommend these to a friend.

Actually, the quality is very good for the price. If you have the iPhone 6 HD Call feature and add this Bluetooth, it sounds really great. I also love how quickly it connects to my phone at the press of the button. Better or equal to my previous jawbone or Motorola bt in ears.

Great product for someone with very thin arms. I literally wore the first one so much and was so hard on it that it finally had to be retired. I recently ordered two more and was happy to see they'd been re-designed with the Velcro running the entire length of the band - my first one barely had enough Velcro to accommodate my lean arms. I put these through a terrible beating - I run distance in a hot, humid climate so they are constantly abused by heat, sun, and sweat. I have had great luck putting them in a delicates bag, macine washing them, and letting them air dry with a dry paper towel inside the window to allow full drying and they are always ready to go by my next day's run. The only reason I didn't give the product five stars is because the material gets so saturated with sweat that condensation forms on the window, making it hard to read through and it also tends to get "slimy" and is hard to keep in place toward the end of my runs when I am extremely sweaty. All-in-all, it's a great product and I was happy to see the price was even lower when I ordered my second two bands!

I desperately needed to replace another iphone armband that was much too big. This one definitely fits my arm better. Having the two slots to choose from helps. The only 2 issues I have- and it won't stop me from using it- is that the opening is a little small for an iphone without a case (I don't use my phone without my otterbox!). The other issue is that the armband doesn't travel smoothly through the slots and makes tightening the armband on my scrawny arms a little bit of a challenge. Otherwise the velcro holds well and the color (I chose the blue) is pretty.

Ok so I needed a arm band for the gym and running. So I decided to buy this product instead of paying $20+ at best buy or walmart (for literally the same thing). So I decided to buy this.. the product all-in-all is great! The materials are conformable on your skin, it fits your phone snuggly, and even hold your key... but there was a slight downside to my product ( which was easily fixed). Well everything on this came great materials, comfortability, but when I put my phone in the case I noticed something weird. At the bottom where you insert a cord for your headphones... there was none. And I was like "thats weird" so I even went to the measure of flipping my phone upside down to see if i could put headphone in and sadly enough still no headphone port. So I decided to cut my own small hole in it with a knife... and yeah it worked! But now I use my Bluetooth headphones anyways haha!Pros--Comfortability-Accurate-House Key Holder-3M Reflective (when running at night)-Phone stays in one pace (doesn't bounce around)Cons--Can't have a thick case on your phone (i.e. Otter Box :( )-Might not have a slot for headphone or headphone slot could be on opposite side

This is a great product for the price. My Iphone 6s fits snugly with a thin case on it so it will not bounce around while I am running. The arm band is adjustable to fit any arm size. There is a key holder which is nice to have, but it does add some bulk to the case. I had a previous case that had a Velcro tab on the side that you could wrap the excess headphone cord around so the cord would not be dangling while I run, this does not have that feature which is why I gave it 4 stars, but again for the price it can't be beat.

I have never owned an armband holder for my iPhone and instead have been carrying in my pockets on long walks. Carrying in an armband is much better for me as I don't like items in my gym shorts. I find this armband convenient and able to carry a key along with my iPhone. I also place my driver's license as an ID in the area that I carry the phone. I wish it had a separate place to hold the license. Not having owned an armband before, it didn't occur to me to look for that feature. The price is reasonable and it was quickly shipped and of good quality.

I have to take the case off my iPhone 6 for it to fit in this armband, but that's not a huge hassle for me. One key (with no keyring) easily fits in the key section, and I've also easily put a credit card and driver's license behind the phone. There are two slots, so I imagine this armband will fit a variety of arms. The section with one part of the velcro is very small, so, based on my experience with other armbands, I'm a little worried that the velcro will die too soon. The material of the armband is fine, but I've definitely had ones with clearer plastic over the phone. For the price, though, I have no regrets.

Updating this review on 3/9/2016:I did not expect any type of customer service from them at all but I will update my rating to 4 stars as ECandy is trying to do right. Once I receive the replacement set and test it out I'll make one last and final review.==============================Original Review:I really like this style headset, that when my first pair (left side ear piece) broke when it snagged on my bag when trying to take out I ordered the same one. However this time around I was not lucky enough to get a good working pair. The headset turns on/off and pairs with no problems, but the right side ear piece has no sound at all. At first I thought that the wiring must of been mixed up to where the left side was the one that has sound to pair/connect and hear the turn on/off sound. But when I tried to play music only the left side ear piece work (with some static here and there) and there was no sound coming out of the right side at all. I am returning this headset as it does me no good since the new one (left side only works) and since my old one still works on the right side only, I might as well continue to use it with one ear.

Awkward fit if you aren't used to in-ear headphones. I wear headphones at work and my work day is 8 hours long so this set wasn't able to keep up for that long. Battery life lasts for about 4 hours of constant music playing. Battery life is a bit shorter as the distance between the earbuds and phone increases.One side stopped playing sound after 3 months of wear and tear while at the gym or work. Volume doesn't reach too high without causing distortion or a metallic echo.This wasn't exactly what I was looking for personally but for the price its reasonable.If you are mindful and aren't rough with these earbuds they should last you. And if you keep your volume to a reasonable range the sound is pretty crisp.

I really would like to give this a five star review but the hold back remains a small product design issue/niggling factor. Don't get me wrong, these are an excellent value. Of all the BT headphones I have (including some very fancy Harman Kardon headsets and LG-70's) I find myself using these most of all. They are comfortable, provide good if not great sound, stay in your ears when active, maintain a solid connection and charge seems to last well beyond most. Not to mention that they are minimally priced when compared to others, so a superb value. This makes them a solid five star product ... except my protest against BT device mfgr's continuing to make one device/connection units. This is yet another one that won't allow multiple connections without resetting the device. Annoying and unnecessary. Really do recommend these if you can live with the limitation of needing a separate BT device for your phone/tablet/Alexa/etc. Fix this and the eCandy is without a doubt the way to go.

I have revised my opinion and wanted to strike the lower rating I previously gave. It was my own fault that the volume was turned down on the devise itself. Once I read more reviews I re-checked and corrected. Now they work great. If anyone makes the same mistake and the volume suddenly seems to not have a proper amount of volume, just check that first! They have a similar amount of playtime on a charge as other bluetooth devices, and sound great to me. For the price you can't beat them!

I really like these earphones. Nice sound, comfortable, conection to my phone was easy and they're simple to use. Bluetooth range is not outstanding but it serves my needs just fine, I can walk around my house and office and still listen depending on the walls between my phone and me. Battery life though... not that much, I have to charge them at least twice a day and its kinda annoying. I've only had them a month and a half, using them everyday and so far so good. I would buy this product again.

Update 12/14: The seller contacted me after seeing my review and requested I remove my review in exchange for a refund. I countered by offering to update my review if they would send me a new product, and that is what they decided to do. Having received the new product, I can say it is exactly what I had expected when I first ordered the device. As a matter of fact, I think they original I was sent was a different, low quality version of this same product. For example, when connecting the original to Bluetooth it said its name was "G6", while the new device is correctly called "E-Candy". The charging port was also different, there was a cheap flap on the first one that covered it which is absent on the new one.The sound is great and the headphones seem sturdy and put together well. Battery life is still short. All in all, if they send the correct product then it is a good one. Just check to be sure and don't be afraid to contact the sellers.Original Review: First, I can't imagine how Amazon and Ecandy determined the pricing for this product. It is certainly not a $60 pair of headphones, and suggesting that we are getting a great deal is disingenuous at best. These headphones are very poorly made and suffer from extremely short battery life. They get a star because they sound fine.I bought these to use in my office. So I am not running or jumping or doing anything crazy. The button responsible for turning the device on/off and toggling play/pause and bluetooth on/off fell off on the second use. I tried reattaching it and it fell off again, and is now lost. So this thing fell apart almost immediately, and now I have to use a pencil to press the button inside to turn it on.I get maybe a couple of hours of music on this thing. I guess that is good if you are using it for brief exercise periods, but you basically have to make sure you always plug it in to charge after use. It is especially cute how it warns you the battery is low and then powers down about 10 seconds later. Thanks for the warning.tl;dr: This is a cheaply made product that will get the job done with caveats. In my opinion it is still priced too high, given the quality. Knowing what I know now I would have sprung for a more expensive higher quality set of headphones rather than dealing with this.

I run every other day, and have used this since it showed up in early march, and unfortunately the armband part is starting to tear :( My last armband--that I used with my iPhone 5--lasted much longer (well over a year). Maybe I just got lucky with that one.I do like that there are different spots to tighten the strap, though! I just wish it had lasted longer.I use it with an iPhone 6S and this case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M0QW2RG/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_30 and one of those little sticky wallet thingies on the back of that case, with usually at least two--sometimes up to four--cards, plus money, in it.* So the pocket is very stretchy!*since these things really don't add much weight to the phone I don't *think* that's why it tore so early, but that could be the reason I suppose.

This product was fine while it lasted but it didn't even make it a full year. I suppose for the price I shouldn't expect much more. Don't expect this thing to blow your socks off, it's just good enough that you won't return it.Edit: I bumped my review up 1 star because customer service responded to my review, totally unprompted, and replaced the defective item. I give them a lot of credit for keeping track of customer satisfaction. If the new unit continues to hold up I will re-access my review.

I've been using this band for a few months, several times a week on runs around 1 hour each.The pros:Fits iPhone with hole cut for 3.5mm jack in the right location, large enough for just about all styles of jack.The key holder is great. I had a spare made just to keep in my armband, now I never forget.The fit is great with the phone without the case, but also adequate with a slim style case. I'm a big fan of not taking the case off.The cons:The band never feels quite snug on my arm, I blame this on the armband material having no elastic.Typing my passcode on the screen through the plastic face works, but is a pain. Must be deliberate about what you are entering. Alphanumeric passcodes will be difficult at best.

Not bad for $8. Easy to slip my iPhone 6 with clear rubber case in and out of the armband's sleeve. However, the little camera hole on the back of the sleeve is ridiculous: even if you could align it reliably with the iPhone's camera (you can't), would you really take the armband off and hold the strap out of the way to take a picture rather than just sliding the iPhone out of the sleeve?!

I have OtterBox Commuter case on my iphone 6 and got this armband. The material in this armband is stretchy enough that the phone mostly fits, however the slit in the back of the case that you slide the phone into the case through does not close completely so when I went for a run the back of the phone where that slit is (the rear camera lens/flash area) was covered with sweat/condensation. Also the front of the armband started to split after just one use probably due to putting the iphone 6 into the armband with OtterBox Commuter case on. Due to the inexpensive price of $8.95, I won't be returning it, but will be looking for an armband that is made for the iphone 6 without having to take the case out. Otherwise this is a good armband, and I did do a successful run using it with the iphone inside. But I can already tell this will not hold up to long term use. And I just don't want to have to take my iphone 6 out of it's OtterBox Commuter case each time I want to use the armband, because additionally I don't want to shorten the life of that case by taking it off and putting it back on every time I want to go for a run. Hope this review hopes someone.

lightweight and secure, the only complaint is that you do not get much air under it and it gets soaking wet with sweat, which slightly concerns me that my phone will get wet

In regards to sound for the price it is tough to knock however the battery life is on the lower end. If youre interested in using these headphones for a marathon youll need to be super super fast (as in under 3 hours since thats how long the battery lasts). The fit in/on the ear was okay. I felt as though the bud portion fit in secure but the majority of the headphone did not sit close to my head. So especially while running i could feel them bob. An over the ear hook would certainly fix this problem. The location of the buttons was also tricky. you almost needed two hands to change the volume or any other control. One to hold it and one to physically push the button. Since there is no hook, it really messed with the fit every time i tried to change the volume or change the song. I think these would be a good sounding, budget wireless earbud if it had a longer battery (at least 5 hours) and an over the ear hook to help with securing a position on the ear.

these don't have the high quality sound of slightly higher priced items but they work great for staying put no matter what I'm doing. they don't get caught or pull on my neck worn either on front or back.negative: their signal is very easily blocked. using my phone in my pocket means the sound comes and goes, wrong side of my body it will be blocked completely. about 5ft of signal strength before it goes out. keep my phone close and clear and it works great though

Cons:The bluetooth has some connection issues. I keep phone in pocket, which is less than 3 feet away, and it'll lose/have static. I have a different bluetooth set that I keep phone in pocket or close by and don't have that problem, so it's definitely not the phone.Battery life close to 4 hrs; however, the lower the battery gets the more it drops bluetooth connection. Don't have that problem with other set.Not the most comfortable thing I've put in my ear, either; but not much difference that other set.With it cutting in and out, don't figure it'll last long :-(DO NOT LIKE THE REDIAL LAST NUMBER FEATURE!Pros:Lightweight!Simple enough to charge.Sound is good and has lots of volume -- that and the price of product is the reason for 3 stars; otherwise, I'd have to give it 2 stars.

Like with most items this one has its pros and cons. I'll give the cons first which the biggest was battery life. The battery was just not up to par. I could have the headphones on paired to my phone but not using them and it was nothing for them to lose battery life before the work day was over. The signal strength was also a feature that left something to be desired. I live in an apartment that is maybe 20 feet from kitchen to bedrooms and bathrooms. I could have my phone in the kitchen or the den and would lose my connection if I left out the room to go to my bedroom or bathroom. Those are the only real cons to these headphones. On the Pro side they have EXCELLENT sound quality. I love the way my music sounds when listening through this headset. The headphones are also very easy to use and even feature multiple languages. I had no problem connecting to my phone, tablet, etc. The best feature of all is the price. For what you pay you def get your money's worth and then some. I would recommend getting these if you want a decently priced easy to use Bluetooth headset that you won't use for long stretches of time.

Cons- Replacing the rubber earbud caps that it comes with was a nightmare-The batteries usually only last me 4 hours(Half a work day.)Pros- Not bad to use on a commute when you don't want wires tangling through your clothes/pockets.- They look niceMeh- Sound is average,The previously mentioned earbuds don't fit that great into my ears making it hard to get the best sound. Which led to the nightmarish process of trying to change them out for the other ones it came with. Which seem to be totally against the design of the speaker/driver/whatever that it goes over. They don't almost don't seem to fit without forcing it over. And I'm not sure if this is common for wireless headphones or earbuds, (my first wireless pair) But battery life leaves a lot to be desired if you're someone like me who listens to music all day.But overall it does what you'd expect it to do at an okay sound for it's price, So 3 stars.

- The package came on time and everything was perfectly intact.- The sound on them is OKAY. Not like skull candy-quality, but they're alright!- Every time you change the sound on your phone, it makes a loud "BOOP" noise.- Every time the Bluetooth disconnects, a feminine voice says it's disconnected out of nowhere- It is a very nice feeling to walk around listening to stuff in your ear without carrying your phone, and you can go pretty far without the signal getting messed up- It only gives you about an hour and a half of battery life, so that sucks.Definitely feels more crude, and if quality is super important to you then I'd invest in better earbuds that connect to your phone. But if you want something that costs less and will allow you to walk around freely while listening to music or videos or whatever, then this is a nice buy!

This product was okay. It never stays in place on my arm. When I go for a walk or on my Bike, it constantly slides down or just comes loose and is hanging in a weird way that I have to stop and readjust. And, if I try to answer a phone call or just want to change the tunes on the phone, I mostly have to remove the phone from the case. And, don't try through the plastic cover, because you will just try over and over again, it's gets frustrating.

I wanted to love this but in the end it didn't work out to its full potential. My IPhone 6 with a case on fit well in here, did not feel tight. I had a small amount of hard time trying to press down on the screen but that is bound to happen. Now what I really didn't enjoy is it does not stay up in the arm sadly, this is a armband but after constant runs or at the gym it just kept slipping off. I decided to just use it on my wrist area since that seemed the only place to somewhat work, But surprisingly it still moved around my wrist area like it was hanging to dear life and was ready to just strip off on its own. Do your research and look into other products if possible.

12/2015 Update: 2/5iXCC was quick to get in contact with me to send a replacement which was under warranty. I bumped up the review to 2 stars for the quality of support. I've only used the replacement one time, so I'll have to see how it holds up. That being said, I ended up buying a different running band so this will serve as a back up.11/4/2015 Update: 1/5 ratingQuality is not durable. I've taken it for several runs ranging from 3-7 miles. I paid $8 bucks for it which was a good price for a running waterproof band. I've used it about 4 times, costing me $2 per run. I ran a few nights ago and I was wondering why it kept slipping off my arm. It's become one side of the band had torn off. The inner elastic band was the only thing keeping it together. Before buying this, I read a similar issue in another user's review but decided to go for it based on the price and the sheer amount of positive reviews. Good price, but quality is disappointing.--------------------------------------------------------------Previous review: 4/5I've only had it for about a week and my initial impressions are good. I've used it a few times on my outdoor runs. The phone is responsive to my touch while enclosed in the case, but I find myself still holding the phone sometimes while running. For the price, I don't have any complaints with the product. I will revisit the review after I get some more usage out of this.

Does not hold up long term to heavy sweat and daily use. Lasted me 5 months and was deteriorating the whole time. If I hadn't had others last me over a year no problem for earlier model phones I'd think it was the sweat and frequent abuse I put it through. Just not top quality is the case. The strap decayed into three different strands until two eventually broke.The plastic screen in the front is not great either, much prefer the rubber cases that don't cover the screen and have heavier duty bands. There are many out there for same price range.

I ordered one and the armband started ripping away from the plastic piece that holds your phone within two times of wearing it. I returned it after wearing it four times because the armband was about to completely tear off. I got a replacement quickly, but the same thing happened after two wears, so I had to return that one too. The only reason this gets two stars is because iXCC was easy and quick about getting me the replacement and then the refund. Maybe others will have different results. I decided to pay an extra $10 to get a better product.

Stitching began ripping within one month of use. I obviously bought it because it was low cost and kind of knew this would happen. There are two loop-sides - A (tighter) and B (looser). The B side is still a challenge to wrap around the bicep area and I'm not a huge guy.

PRO:* Low cost (got mine on sale for ~$12)* Simple packaging: plain cardboard box, cord tied up with a twisty tie, extra rubber earbud cups in a small baggie.* Printed user manual with decent instructionsCON:* Feels cheap: plugging in the include USB cable to charge and it doesn't seem to fit properly (but does charge) and has a weak plastic feel that makes me wonder how long these will last.* Short Range: I'm a tall guy (6'5"). When I tried pairing these with my phone and putting my phone in my pants pocket; the audio was patchy and kept breaking up. I had to put my phone in my shirt pocket to be able to use these earbuds. Mind you with the same phone and other Bluetooth devices I've been able to leave my phone on a different floor of my house and still have good audio.* Slow processor?: While these played the audio from my podcasts/music fine; when I tried playing a game on my phone the game's audio was lagging behind the action and constantly stuttering.

Pros:Neatly packagedComfortable and held in place wellCons:Headphones would lose connectivity when my phone was placed in my pocket.Audio quality not the greatestNo actual noise cancelling that I could detectThese eCandy headphones arrived promptly and in a very tiny, very neat box. Included in the box were the headphones, micro USB charging cable (just the cable, no wall charger), replacement ear plugs and easy to follow instructions. I had been excited to give these headphones a shot as I was tired of the cable on my old wired headphones always getting in the way while I was working out or doing yard work.The headphones themselves appeared to be of ok quality. If taken care of they would probably hold out but I wouldn’t go dropping them on a hard floor or anything. The included charging cable is extremely short. It measured out to about 7 ½ inches in length. Luckily I already had longer micro USB cable I could use.Once I had charged the headphones I tried them out. They held in place really well and were comfortable. Turning them on and synching with my iPhone was a simple process. However, once synched, I would loose the connection frequently when the phone was placed in my pocket. The headphones worked fine if was holding my phone in front of me, as soon as my phone went into my pocket, the audio would start cutting out. If you plan on using these headphones with your device on your desk or in an armband you might be okay. But they were useless for what I needed them for.Finally, the audio quality, when it did work, was sub par and left a lot to be desired. For lack of better adjectives, it sounded slightly muffled and hollow. Like the speaker had been wrapped in a sock and the sound piped through a toilet paper tube. And sure, it canceled noise as advertised in the sense that you had music being piped through ear plugs. But no, no active noise cancelling could be detected in the environments I tested these headphones in.Normally, I’d say you get what you pay for but even I had slightly higher hopes for what these headphones cost. For me, these headphones are a big and disappointing pass and I’ll be returning them soon.

I think you need to have the right ear design to keep these in. I used them once on a run and by the time I was done I knew these were not for me. The clip would help keep the ear bud in place in my left ear but not my right. I wish they offered different lengths of clips. The sound would break for a second once in awhile, but not too annoying. And like all of my other ear buds they are a bit too tight, even while using the smallest size, so my ears ache after a sorry time, but I just have small ear canals. But the lack of various clip sizes to help these to fit is really sad, and makes them unusable for the purpose I had intended.

I really wanted to like these...the picture shows a pretty bright turquoise color that sparked my interest, but it's deceiving...the actual product is more of a standard primary blue, nothing like the color pictured. Oh well. I have very small ear canals, so I immediately tried to change the in-ear silicone adapters, and wished I hadn't. They are SO hard to get on there! The hole in the nubs are smaller than the part you push them onto, so you have to really struggle to get them to stretch and fit, and being so tiny, that's impossible...as soon as you get one edge on the lip, another falls off. I was afraid I'd rip them. Both my husband and I tried and couldn't get the smaller ones on at all, then still struggled to get the original ones back on but finally did it. They also stick out of your ears a lot further than I had hoped...I wanted to use them for relaxation tracks while falling asleep, but it definitely wouldn't work if I was to lay on my side.I also should note that when I went to charge it up for the first time, I noticed that the left earbud looked crushed/melted, so the button wouldn't even push in. Obviously I got a defective one, so I contacted customer service, who promptly refunded me. Their customer service is fast and efficient, which is a plus. I ultimately decided on a different brand of headphones that are better suited for sleeping in rather than replacing these, however, so I can't comment about the sound quality of these. I simply want to make sure consumers considering these are aware about some of the physical characteristics of this product, as it's sometimes hard to tell sizes and details from photos.

Not a huge fan of these headphone. The sound quality is good and so is the fit, but unlike my previous Bluetooth headphones, these require me to go into my iPhone's Bluetooth settings and reconnect them every time I want use them. Also, the controls are so small that they are difficult to manipulate.I use these earbuds for biking to and from work, so these shortcomings make them less convenient.========================================================================Updating this review on 8/18/2015I purchased the Mpow Cheetah Wireless Bluetooth 4.1 Sports Headphones as a replacement for my unsatisfactory Ecandy headphones.The Mpow headphones were exactly what I was looking for. I had previously purchased the "Ecandy Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Noise Cancelling Headphones" for my bike commute into work. However, I found them not at all suited for athletic endeavors. The controls on the Ecandy headphones were not ergonomic at all. Also, I like to ride with only one earbud in place, so that I can hear surrounding traffic for safety purposes, and because the Ecandy headphones are somewhat "noise cancelling", it was even more important to do so. However, the Ecandy headphones are so heavy that leaving one out of my ear ended up pulling the other one out as well. Lastly, the Ecandy headphones required me to manually re-pair my connection with my iPhone 6 every time I turned them on, which was really annoying.The Mpow Cheetah headphones are much more appropriate for biking. They are lighter, have much better designed controls, so that I can easily touch the right button for the right function. The Mpow headphones also re-pair automatically. I recommend the Mpow Cheetah headphones to anybody looking for sports headphones.

it works great. fits great. stays in place on a light jog. good sound (i mostly do podcasts). on a good charge i'll get five hours out of it.pros; works great for applications where you don't want to get tangled in cords. its light weight and stays in place. you get three bud sizes to switch around. i maybe adjust it once or twice in an hour. if i'm jogging towards the wind it might loosen up (but this might be the same for any brand).cons; battery seems buggy. half the time i don't get a full five hours... 3 or 2 it seems.Update: this died after two months of use. the battery stated heating up and eventually it just stopped charging. it worked well when it worked so could be a bad batch... i guess.

I would give this NO stars because it barely lasted two weeks in a three day rotation. The piece holding the velcro in place has detached from the neoprene sleeve making this completely useless. Perhaps they should've used some stitching rather than some cheap adhesive. This brand will not make the cut for other active people. COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!!! My other two are over 8 months old and so much better.

Unfortunately, this product is very cheaply made. My phone does not fit snugly into it, which is a problem when you're exercising. The biggest problem, however, is that the arm band is not elastic at all. Therefore, when I'm running the entire thing moves up and down as I swing my arm. I would not recommend this product. Spend a little more money to get something quality.

This product was insufficiently made. It does not serve its one and only purpose for why it was made. What it won't do it is allow you to plug your headphones into your phone to listen to music while you run! There is no way when designing this product they had any idea what its primary functionality or purpose was. If all your looking for is to have a case to strap to your arm to hold your phone without any use of it then then is what they were aiming for. I wish I knew before buying this product that it didn't allow a headphone plug in, because that was my soul reason of buying it. Stay away from this product poorly thought out design.

Please do not purchase for your own good. Used it for one week before velcro deteriorated. Kept using it because I needed it to exercise and velcro eventually came undone while I was running. This caused my iPhone to fall out while I was jogging and cracked its screen. Just got phone a week ago and now have a shattered screen. Spend a couple extra bucks to get a well-made product and protect your phone.

This review is really for guys, and after having wore the armband for 1 trip to the gym (2hrs) with a iphone 6. I have a 16" bicep, which means the strap goes through the outer slat and the velcro hold's at about the farthest part from the face (made really for 12" arms). After 1 gym session the elasticity on the left side of the face opposite from the 2 slats has already torn and the stitching between the hard plastic and outer arm is stretching and pulling apart. Just 1 trip. This is an absolute waste of $$ and i can't even think it'll make it to 10 gym trips. I saw other armbands that are apparently made by the same manufacturer, but with a different logo/name, dont buy any armband that matches this. Totally disappointed. Will try and find a solid Nike band again, probably gonna pay more, but my iphone 4 lasted for 3 years with it.

This product looks and feel great until you try it out. I went for a run and even before I started sweating it was already slipping down. I barely started running and the strap would lose grip and open up. It looks amazing but will not stay on your arm which I believe is the whole point. I even thought it was because my arms might have been too big for the strap but I have about 2-1/2 in of overlap. My sister even tried it and she has 4 in overlap, but it would also open up on her arm. Until they change the type of Velcro it has, it's not worth it.

OK, so I bought a pair of ECandy headphones for around the same price as these. They had great sound, long battery life and were sturdy. I wanted to purchase some new head phones, so I passed those down to my sister, bought the new headphones, couldn't pair with my phone. So I decided since they work and I was desperate I looked ECandy Bluetooth headphones. This popped up, unfortunately I couldn't find the exact same pair, so I settled with these. When they finally came they were well packaged, but when I opened them, and touched them they felt kind of RUBBERY. So I just told myself it was because of the color on the headphones and then I just went to using them everyday like I did with my old ones. Now let me tell you about why I feel these are unauthentic, when I went to pair them for the first time, it popped up as this weird name, it looked like it was in a different language. Another time was when I turned up the music on the headphones, it wouldn't raise the volume. So I just let that go, and dealt with the low volume, when I finally went to charge them, then USED THEM the battery lasted for about 2-3 hours. (first time around they lasted about 6+ hours) And lastly, why I feel these are not AUTHENTIC ECandy headphones, is because of the non existent bass I hear in my music when I do decide to use them. I wrote this review so late after purchasing them, because when I went to charge them, the blue/red lights didn't even turn on. I haven't USED THEM IN TWO WEEKS AND WHEN I FINALLY DECIDE TO... they're suddenly broken.

I've had these for a little over a year. At first they worked great, but then they simply stopped working. just to be clear, I did not abuse or use carelessly. In fact, I bought these as a backup because they fit nicely into my purse. I can probably count the times I've actually had to use them. Nevertheless I needed them recently when I was away on a business trip, and they let me down. I even thought it might be the battery so I charged it over night. They simply don't work anymore. I'm sorry but I don't care how inexpensive they are, they should last more than a year.

I had a pair of wireless earbuds I purchased from TJMaxx, but my issue was they only held a charge for about 45 minutes - which I unfortunately discovered in the middle of a workout. I ordered these because they are supposed to have a longer charge, but the first time I put them in the sound was unbalanced the left ear was much louder than the right. I checked my iPhone volume settings to make sure I didn't accidentally throw it off balance but it was dead center. then when I went to try and even it out, the left earbud got louder when I adjusted it to get quieter and get a little louder on the right. Maybe it was just my pair with a software issue or something, but these suck and I won't use them again. I never had any sound problems wi h my other pair so it's definitely not my hearing that's the problem. unfortunately they were in my ears so I can't return them, such a waste of my money.

Pros: sound quality when connected to phone is decent. But that's itCons:1. I need to talk really loud for the other person to hear me when using the bluetooth2. Have tor restart bluetooth setting and earphones several times sometimes to link up properly3. When calls do get through, it is broken like I'm going through a tunnel even though my phone is right next to me. Very finicky4. The hook that is suppose to secure the earpiece is not sturdy and very flimsy unlike my friend's device (different brand). - this one doesn't feel like it serves any purpose. Too flimsy to stay secured.5. When running with the device, even though it doesn't fall off, you can hear the earphones as if they are going in and out.Overall I did not like it at all and am returning them. Read the glowing reviews and was very excited but was immediately disappointed.

I absolutely loved these headphones until a week ago when they died. I purchased the headphones on 06/16/15, putting me outside the return policy time frame so I am out $20.00. I kept my headphones at my work desk so any sort or wear and tear is not the reason for them to just stop working all of a sudden. My headphone were used during the day from 8 - 5, then put away in a drawer over night. The headphones will not take a charge and I cannot get any of the lights to light up while holding the "ON" button. Very disappointed with this purchase. Would absolutely change my review if given the opportunity to exchange for another pair as I absolutely loved the product for the 3 months I was able to enjoy them.

Just returned from my first, and last, run with these. I had no trouble pairing them with my phone, but while running the sound constantly went in and out. I can't comment on battery life because after fiddling with them trying to eliminate the static, I gave up and put them in my pocket.
